譯文：
人和環(huán)境
人類有史以來不斷改變自然環(huán)境，以改善自己的生活方式。人類借助技術工具改變了地球的許多自然特征。他將林地和草原改造成為農田，使江河變成湖泊和水庫，用于灌溉或用于水力發(fā)電。人類還通過給沼澤地排水、鑿石劈山、修建公路和鐵路等方式，改變了地球的'面貌。
然而，人類改變自然環(huán)境并不總是帶來有益的結果。今天，空氣和水的污染給地球的健康造成越來越嚴重的危害。每天機動車輛的排氣管排出成千上萬噸廢氣。工廠釋放的呀呢污染了工業(yè)區(qū)和周圍鄉(xiāng)村的空氣。水污染同樣有害，海洋的整個生態(tài)平衡正在受到破壞，工業(yè)廢水已經使許多河流的生物死亡。
現在，環(huán)境保護比以往任何時候都更為緊迫。我們知道，對環(huán)境的大規(guī)模破壞已經帶來負面影響，甚至嚴重威脅到人類的生存。對這些問題漠不關心將意味著自我毀滅。因此，應采取有效措施并通過法律來保護環(huán)境。不然的話，人類勢必遭受因其不關心生存環(huán)境而引起的嚴重后果之苦。
